| Introduction | Welcome to my blog. I have scoured the internet for all the information I could find about PTTD when researching my injury, and it helped me greatly. To give back, I started this blog to provide information to any current or future PTTD sufferers, especially for those that are active and want to return to activity after surgery. When I started this blog (2013), I was a 25 year old female marathon runner and triathlete finishing up a PhD in Exercise Physiology. Now, you can officially call me doctor and I'm a college professor, a swimmer, cyclist, triathlete, and occasional 5ker. My story begins in April of 2012 when I hurt my ankle after running 2 half marathons and a full marathon in a 4 month span. Crazy...I know! For those of you that are also runners, you can understand how addictive racing can be. I spent 8 months of my life between numerous doctors, crutches, two different boots, X-rays, MRIs, medications, and custom orthotics. None of the non-surgical treatments worked for me, so here I am starting this blog with Stage 2 PTTD with a flat-foot deformity, 6 days away from full reconstructive surgery of my left ankle. |
